People have always thought of rafting as a branch of sports which can be done only by professionals. However, no previous knowledge is required for it. You don’t need to have taken a course or private lessons previously. Nevertheless, before you begin the tour you will be provided with the necessary information by your guide on how to paddle, how to sit in the boat and how to follow the commands briefly.

You have made up your mind. You want to paddle through the waves, get wet, and have fun, but how? Here, we provide you with different choices. You can participate in the rafting groups of 6, 8 and 10 people or you can try duckies of 2 people which you control yourself.

We provide you with choices to raft on beginner, intermediate or advanced level rivers depending on what kind action you look for.

Köprüçay River
Arising from the Taurus and passing through the canyons which are natural beauties, Kцprьзay falls into the Mediterranean from the south of Serik. Köprüçay river, feeding on the subterranean waters of the high-walled canyons standing on both sides, is one of the most beautiful natural recreation areas of Turkey. Besides that, Selge city, possessing a rich archeological heritage such as historical castles, aqueducts, bridges and roads from the Roman era, is also entitled as the most popular rafting course of Turkey. It hosts thousands of local and foreign tourists as it is close to the touristic sites like Alanya, Side, Belek and Kemer as well. The tour taking place between the historical Oluk bridge and Karabük bridge has the difficulty level of about 2-3. It also provides the visitors with breathtaking natural views and the opportunity to watch the Taurus Mountains as it flows through the National Park.

Alara River
Passing through the border of Alanya, Alara river has the difficulty level of about 3-4. Starting form the down part of Gündoğmuş village, the course is about 25 kilometer long and ends in the outskirts of Alarhan, the castle that dates back to the Seljukians. The river, flowing ebulliently especially in the spring, provides technical passages which require a high maneuver ability due to the difficulties caused by the irregular rock blocks.
